<br />
Fun isn&#8217;t it? The title I mean. I&#8217;ve been having a lot of fun watching some<br />
of the cartoon characters of the marketing world. They&#8217;ve been running around,<br />
having fun, just being a bunch of guys who can kick back and kill some time.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, you spend your money on their products, you could use some of<br />
their personal attention, but they&#8217;re a bit too busy for you after you spend a few<br />
grand. How&#8217;s that make you feel?<br />
<br />
I get it. I was under this ridiculous assumption that maybe if I purchased<br />
some of their courses, that would somehow get me on the inside of the “Rat<br />
Pack”. Remember them, the real Rat Pack? I&#8217;m kinda young but I think it was<br />
Sammy Davis Jr. , <a class="zem_slink" title="Dean Martin" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001509/">Dean Martin</a> and Frank Sinatra. There may have been one<br />
more, but you can just take a look at the characters of today&#8217;s marketing and see<br />
the same group of the IN (NO not the I.M.) crowd and see that same untouchable<br />
band of brothers.<br />
<br />
Funny how marketers utilize the instance of <a class="zem_slink" title="Celebrity" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity">celebrity</a> to excel them into the<br />
self-proclaimed guru position. It&#8217;s an awesome tactic, but a lot of work and a big<br />
headache. See, with every celebrity comes the Poporazi. You know, the ones<br />
running around taking pictures at the most inopportune times. Sometimes, they<br />
are telling stories that were shared in the strictest of confidence, only to be sold<br />
to the highest bidder by that celebrities closest friend.<br />
<br />
I don&#8217;t necessarily like those folks, but it seems as if we could almost do the<br />
same. Think about it. What if there were a certain marketing guy who chases<br />
butterflies or something, and one day he had a picture that looked like the before<br />
photo from the hair club for men and the next thing you know, he&#8217;s dressing like<br />
a jock and has a full head of hair&#8230; hmm.<br />
<br />
Nobody seems to talk about that stuff, or even how that method of<br />
marketing that he uses is simply the chaos theory&#8230; and not well written at that.<br />
Then you could have this beach bum guy, who was about 80lbs lighter a few<br />
years back and got into a little trouble with the law; I wonder if people realize<br />
that his marketing tactics are simply a poor attempt at NLP, or Black Ops<br />
Hypnosis&#8230; hey wait, didn&#8217;t some guy with a “Star” in his name write that<br />
course&#8230; he sure does sound an awful lot like the cousin of the beach bum&#8230; I<br />
guess you have to be in the Rat Pack to know who I&#8217;m talking about.<br />
But Wait&#8230; I&#8217;m Not in the Circle&#8230;<br />
<br />
How Could I Possibly Know This?<br />
<br />
Alright, that&#8217;s enough of my ranting. I&#8217;m going to stop with the literary ramblings and<br />
innuendos of something fishy going on in the marketing world and get down to<br />
strategy.<br />
<br />
When I first came online, I was simply looking for a quick way to get my family off<br />
Welfare. I wanted to work less with my body and more with my mind. It wasn&#8217;t easy<br />
laboring in the winter time, chopping wood every day just to keep warm and I needed<br />
a break&#8230; or my body was going to break.<br />
<br />
So, I began to study all of these great marketers. No, not the cartoon ones. They<br />
were pretty easy to figure out. They made broad stroke attempts at leveraging<br />
peoples&#8217; passions to market them, but their methods were a bit sloppy and crude.<br />
That&#8217;s not to say they weren&#8217;t great at what they did, but when you are in the game<br />
as long as these guys, you tend to mirror the superstar of your industry.<br />
<br />
I remember a line from a <a class="zem_slink" title="Bill Murray" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000195/">Bill Murray</a> movie, “Groundhog&#8217;s Day”. Bill said, “Maybe God<br />
isn&#8217;t all powerful, maybe he&#8217;s just been around for so long that he knows a lot!”<br />
I&#8217;m in no way implying that marketers are gods, but they are celebrity to their own<br />
industry. I chose to study Jay Abraham, Brian Tracy, Chet Holmes and a few of the<br />
other greats. Reason is, that&#8217;s who most of the cartoon guys today had study and<br />
these were the guys who invented raw marketing and direct sales when it was in it&#8217;s<br />
straight tie, smoke filled office, vodka in the middle of the day era.<br />
<br />
You know, like “Mad Men”, advertising and marketing guys were the magical money<br />
getters of their era and it is amazing how they have gone from a group of class, to a<br />
group of ass&#8230; that&#8217;s cute, I wasn&#8217;t planning on typing that but it really flowed.<br />
So the question begs, “How do you create celebrity status in the marketing world?”<br />
Well, I don&#8217;t think you have to, but there is a way you can leverage “Celebrity” that is<br />
much easier if you&#8217;d like to give it a shot.<br />
<br />
I&#8217;m not sure, exactly, how this is going to turn out typed on this document, but by the<br />
time I&#8217;m done here, I am going to show you how to leverage traffic that already exists<br />
in order to generate some extra dineros for your family.<br />
<br />
Take this into account: In no way am I saying this marketing method is for everyone<br />
and in no way am I saying that it will work for those who do not follow all of the<br />
steps. I am saying, however, that if you can get creative and focus on the goal at<br />
hand&#8230; big bucks in little pockets, then you could probably have a lot of fun doing this<br />
and you won&#8217;t be facing any competition.<br />
<br />
Here Goes!<br />
<br />
Cash in On Celeb Fame<br />
<br />
For a while now, I&#8217;ve been testing a fun little project. I will not tell you the name of<br />
the celebrity that I am using for this test, simply because I do not want your<br />
competition and it is doing very well for me.<br />
<br />
Basically, I&#8217;ve chosen a name of one of the most controversial, hottest celebs of all thetabloids out there and decided to make a blog around him. Then, I registered a domain name that is a bit something like this [ www.YOURCELEBNAMESUCKS.com ]<br />
<br />
I know, it seems crude, but you&#8217;d be surprised. For every celebrity that people love<br />
and there is a huge following for, there are plenty of folks out there that love to dish<br />
and make fun of them as well. There&#8217;s a trick to this though.<br />
<br />
You gotta chose a celebrity that has both types of fans. Yes, even those who hate<br />
them are truly fans, just of a different nature. But, you want to be sure that this is a<br />
celebrity that you actually like, that way you don&#8217;t get tired of writing about them.<br />
Next, search your domain name in the search engines like this:<br />
<br />
YOUR CELEB NAME SUCKS<br />
<br />
Don&#8217;t use all caps like I just did, but you get it I&#8217;m sure. Then, open each of the<br />
listings you find in Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL and whatever favorite search engine you<br />
can find.<br />
<br />
Copy and paste the URLs [website addresses] into a notepad document and save<br />
them for later. These are going to be great sources of content. Next, install a word<br />
press blog onto your own hosting account. If you&#8217;re not sure how to do this, simply go<br />
to www.WordPress.org and learn how&#8230; it&#8217;s not rocket science.<br />
<br />
Next, go to www.Google.com and type in the search phrase:<br />
<br />
YOUR CELEB NAME MOVIES<br />
<br />
See if you can&#8217;t find some movie sites that have affiliate programs attached to them.<br />
Remember, Amazon has become pretty popular in the movie department and people<br />
can download the movie they purchase directly to their computer and begin to watch<br />
immediately (that type of instant gratification can be very appealing)<br />
<br />
Once you have some affiliate links to your celeb movies, go back to your links that you<br />
saved on your note pad document and begin to take notes on the many different<br />
articles out there. Mixed with your positive opinion of the celeb, write a review of why<br />
some people may think your celeb sucks and counter with the positive.<br />
<br />
To reinforce this positive, at the end of each post, send people to your email sign up<br />
form&#8230; whoops, go to www.Aweber.com and get an auto responder for about $19 per<br />
month.<br />
<br />
Then, as you write your review blog posts you can simply send out broadcasts on the<br />
review and be sure to place your affiliate links to your celebrity&#8217;s movie underneath<br />
the post&#8230; sort of a positive reinforcement back up to your post, getting your reader<br />
involved in watching one of their films.<br />
<br />
The best part is, when they buy that film from Amazon, you get paid!<br />
<br />
Nice right? Here&#8217;s the coolest part. You never run out of content about famous celebs<br />
and most of the time you don&#8217;t have to create your own. You can grab a You Tube<br />
video and embed it on your blog post</p>
<p>{There are plenty of tutorials out there to show you how}<br />
<br />
Then, you write a review of the movie trailer or whatever celeb clip you got, just<br />
beneath that video on your blog. Be sure to also start a link section on the side of<br />
your blog.<br />
<br />
You will want to go to www.HubPages.com, www.Squidoo.com, www.GoogleKnol.com<br />
and many other content sites and write and post even more content. On these sites,<br />
you really want to get people back to your blog.<br />
<br />
OK&#8230; the big question that comes up on the rare occasion that I teach this. “Why<br />
should you pick such a negative domain name about the celebrity?”<br />
<br />
Simple&#8230; negative headlines sell, the same usually holds true for a negative subject<br />
line in an email to get better open rates, a negative title on a blog post or video as<br />
well as, a negative domain name, which is typically the headline of your browser <img src='http://thewestprogram.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Slick right? I think it is and through the testing I&#8217;ve done on this, with a couple of<br />
partners that I lock in my basement, I&#8217;ve found that the influx of traffic, the open<br />
rates of emails and the willingness to purchase the movies on Amazon, are some of<br />
the best sales and subscriber conversions I&#8217;ve ever received.<br />
<br />
All this without creating your own product, you can write or record about someone<br />
you don&#8217;t mind talking about. You&#8217;ll virtually never run out of content, which means<br />
you will be able to post new content every day, thereby giving you new search engine<br />
listings and all while only having an auto responder, a hosting account and a domain<br />
name to pay for.<br />
<br />
Domain and Hosting Account: www.HostGator.com<br />
<br />
Auto responder: www.Aweber.com<br />
<br />
You&#8217;re looking at about $28 a month or less.<br />
<br />
One you get one site up and successful, talking about one celeb and you start seeing<br />
a profit, continue posting on that one with new content everyday and start an<br />
additional one.<br />
<br />
You will only want to start one of these at a time, that way you can see what is<br />
working for you, fine tune it and hone your skills a bit.<br />
<br />
I hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed this month&#8217;s WEST Newsletter and I do hope you can join us<br />

<h3>Pittsburgh Small Business Booming in the Recession with the Internet</h3>
<p>Sometimes, it&#8217;s not easy to be a small business. For <a class="zem_slink" title="Pittsburgh" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh">Pittsburgh</a>, business isn&#8217;t always profitable and many business owners don&#8217;t realize that they are leaving a mint of profits right on the table. The amazing fact is, is because their customers or market are not looking for them by walking down a sidewalk or in the <a class="zem_slink" title="Yellow Pages" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Pages">Yellow Pages</a>. Customers are searching for your business on the Internet.</p>
<p>This is where I usually begin to lose a small business owner or an entrepreneur. The idea of <a class="zem_slink" title="Internet marketing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_marketing">advertising</a> on the internet seems risky to them. Here&#8217;s the deal, most of the ways to get traffic to your business, utilizing the internet, isn&#8217;t even something that you pay for. If you have the right SEO professional and a top <a class="zem_slink" title="Marketing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing">marketing consultant</a> that understands Internet marketing, a campaign can be set up in no time, even for special promotions, and you&#8217;ll find that getting to be #1 on the front page of Google is very easy, and you&#8217;d be staring your customers right in the face.</p>
<h3>Using the Internet to Boom Pittsburgh Small Businesses</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve been working with small business owners for quite sometime now, and they are usually amazed at how quick I can have them seeing tangible results. But, you may be wondering why so many <a class="zem_slink" title="Small business" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_business">small businesses</a> leverage the Internet and fail at achieving results? It&#8217;s simple. They don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing&#8230; big epiphany there huh?</p>
<h3>As an Entrepreneur or Small Business Owner, You Should be Focused on Two Things:</h3>
<ol>
<li>How to monetize your customers or traffic</li>
<li>How to make your profits grow, so you can work less.</li>
</ol>
<p>Really, isn&#8217;t the purpose of being a business owner or entrepreneur to enjoy a life of financial freedom? To be able to spend more time with your family or having fun, is probably much more appealing than the job you have created for yourself that you have titled your business.</p>
<h4>This is where I have to get real with small business owners, especially in Pittsburgh</h4>
<p>YOU are not a marketer. YOU are not specialized in advertising, marketing and the internet. Also, you cannot just pay to have a website placed online and expect droves of people to come to it. Like any form of marketing media, you must get it in front of the eyes of your customers. You need a local Pittsburgh Internet Business Consultant who has handled hundreds of industries, using proven techniques and marketing campaigns that have got a proven track record, not some new pie in the sky trick!</p>
<p>This is done by properly placed SEO, Blogging, PPC, CPM, CPA, Viral Video, and many other forms of marketing. But you should not have to concern yourself with learning this process, when some of us have spent almost 15 years learning, testing and implementing proven systems to work. Get with the program. The Internet is a different animal than offline marketing and media advertising, and there has to be someone who is keeping up with the times and implementing regular specialized strategies to have it working for you.</p>
<p>As a Pittsburgh Small Business Owner, wouldn&#8217;t you like to see your business having a regular stream of targeted, qualified customers and clients? Whether you are a floral designer, a doctor, dentist, real-estate agent, mechanic or lawyer; don&#8217;t you deserve to create more for your business, yourself, your community and your family? Well, you can&#8217;t do that if only those in your neighborhood know that you exist. Learn to consult with professionals in the Internet Marketing industry to grow your business during the down times in the economy.</p>
<p>If you would like to know what the Internet can do for you, email Bob Yeager, creator and President of the World Entrepreneur Success Training Program (or <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com">WEST</a>) at thewestprogram @ gmail.com Only serious inquiries will be considered, and you must tell me what your business is, product focus and leave your name, email and contact phone number in order to be considered.</p>
